| Yen maraikkiraai | Why are you hiding it? |
| Nee kaadhalil irukkiraai | You are in love. |

| Aanal ennai ninaikkiraai | But you keep thinking of me. |
| Male | |
| Edho oru vali manasa | Some pain gently comes |
| Lesa vandhu vandhu urasa | And rubs against my heart again and again, |

ஏன் மறைக்கிறாய்
நீ காதலில் இருக்கிறாய்
நீ மறுக்கிறாய்
ஆனால் என்னை நினைக்கிறாய்
Why are you hiding it?
You are in love.
You deny it,
But you keep thinking of me.
ஏதோ ஒரு வலி மனச
லேசா வந்து வந்து உரச
உன்னை தள்ளி தள்ளி நடக்க
அது மட்டும் என்னால் ஆகல
Some pain gently comes
And rubs against my heart again and again,
To push you away and walk on,
That is the only thing I cannot do.
எப்போ என்ன சொல்லி முடிய
இப்படியே நாளும் விடிய
துண்டு துண்டா உள்ள உடைய
உனக்கென்ன புரிஞ்சுக்க தோனல
When and how to say it all and finish?
With days dawning just like this,
Breaking into tiny pieces inside,
Why don't you feel like understanding?
கை அசைக்கிறாய்
எப்போதும் போல் சிரிக்கிறாய்
ஓ ஓ ஓர் நொடியிலே
எனக்குள் நான் புதைகிறேன்
You wave your hand,
You smile as you always do,
Oh, in a single moment,
I bury myself inside myself.
எந்த பறவை என்னை தாண்டி
போகும் போதும் உந்தன் சாயல்
நீ இல்லாமல் என்ன செய்ய நான்
நீயும் நானும் சொன்ன வார்த்தை
ஒன்று கூட தொலையவில்லை
காற்றின் வீட்டில் சேமித்தேனே நான்
Whenever any bird passes by me,
It carries your likeness.
What am I supposed to do without you?
The words spoken by you and me,
Not even one has been lost;
I have saved them all in the house of the wind.
என் பழைய நாட்கள் எல்லாம்
என்னை கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சமாய் கொல்கிறதேடி
உன் வருகை உள்ளங்கையின்மேல்
சின்னன் சிறு இறகாய் சேர்கிறதே
All my bygone days
Are killing me little by little, girl.
Your arrival feels like holding
A tiny little feather upon my palm.
நீ எனக்குள்ளே
என்னென்னம்மோ நடத்தினாய்.....
யார் மறப்பது
தள்ளி சென்றும் நெருங்கினாய்
Deep inside me,
You made so many things happen.
Who can forget?
Even when moving away, you came closer.
சொல் இன்னும் என்னை
என்ன செய்ய நினைக்கிறாய்
ஓ ஓ நீ சொல்லாவிட்டால்
உன் காதலை தொலைக்கிறாய்
Tell me, what more
Are you planning to do to me?
Oh, if you do not say it out loud,
You are going to lose your love.
Yen maraikkiraai
Why are you hiding it?
Nee kaadhalil irukkiraai
You are in love.
Nee marukkiraai
You deny it,
Aanal ennai ninaikkiraai
But you keep thinking of me.
Edho oru vali manasa
Some pain gently comes
Lesa vandhu vandhu urasa
And rubs against my heart again and again,
Unnai thalli thalli nadakka
To push you away and walk on,
Adhu mattum ennal aagala
That is the only thing I cannot do.
Eppo enna solli mudiya
When and how to say it all and finish?
Ippadiyae naalum vidiya
With days dawning just like this,
Thundu thunda ulla udaiya
Breaking into tiny pieces inside,
Unakkenna purinjukka thonala
Why don't you feel like understanding?
Kai asaikkiraai
You wave your hand,
Eppodhum pol sirikkiraai
You smile as you always do,
Oh oh orr nodiyilae
Oh, in a single moment,
Enakkul naan pudhaigiren
I bury myself inside myself.
Endha paravai ennai thaandi
Whenever any bird passes by me,
Pogum podhum undhan saayal
It carries your likeness.
Nee illaamal enna seiya naan
What am I supposed to do without you?
Neeyum naanum sonna vaarthai
The words spoken by you and me,
Ondru kooda tholaiyavillai
Not even one has been lost;
Kaatrin veettil semithenae naan
I have saved them all in the house of the wind.
En palaiya naatkal ellaam
All my bygone days
Ennai konjam konjamaai kolgiradhedi
Are killing me little by little, girl.
Un varugai ullangaiyil mel
Your arrival feels like holding
Chinnan siru iragai sergiradhae
A tiny little feather upon my palm.
Nee enakkullae
Deep inside me,
Ennanammo nadathinaai
You made so many things happen.
Yaar marapadhu
Who can forget?
Thalli sendrum nerunginaai
Even when moving away, you came closer.
Sol innum ennai
Tell me, what more
Enna seiya ninaikkiraai
Are you planning to do to me?
Oh oh nee sollaavittaal
Oh, if you do not say it out loud,
Un kaadhalai tholaikkiraai
You are going to lose your love.
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song portrays a lover's poignant plea to his beloved, who hides her true romantic feelings despite being deeply in love. He expresses the emotional weight of her unspoken affection, describing how memories of their shared past continuously linger and torment him. He urges her to drop her reservations and confess her feelings before time runs out and their love is lost forever.

“Kaatrin veettil semithenae naan”
'Kaatrin veettil semithenae' metaphorically describes storing unsaid words and memories in the 'house of the wind', emphasizing their lingering presence in the air.
